1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeAlthough data from 1975 to 1997 revealed a gap in cancer survival improvement in adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 15-39 years) compared with children and older adults, more recent studies have reported improvements in AYA cancer survival overall. The current analysis provides an update of 5-year relative survival and cancer survival trends among AYAs compared with children and older adults.

methodsWe obtained data from the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program for 17 regions to obtain recent (2010-2018) 5-year relative survival estimates by cancer type, stage, sex, and race/ethnicity by age group. In addition, we calculated 5-year relative survival trends during 2000-2014.

resultsAcross 33 common AYA cancers, AYAs and children had high 5-year relative survival (86%) and experienced similar survival improvements over time (average absolute change: AYAs, 0.33%; children 0.36%). Among AYAs, 73% of cancers had improvement in 5-year relative survival since 2000. Despite this overall progress, we identified cancers where survival was worse in AYAs than younger or older patients and cancers that have had either a lack of improvement (osteosarcoma and male breast) or decreases in survival (cervical and female bladder) over time. Furthermore, males had inferior survival to females for all cancers, except Kaposi sarcoma and bladder cancer, and non-Hispanic Black/African American AYAs experienced worse survival than other racial/ethnic groups for many cancers considered in this study.

conclusionFuture studies should focus on identifying factors affecting survival disparities by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. Differences in biology, clinical trial enrollment, delivery of treatment according to clinical guidelines, and supportive and long-term survivorship care may account for the survival disparities we observed and warrant further investigation.
